I am wondering if anyone uses there local MAC to look up patients to see when they had there IPPE or Initial/Subsequent Wellness Visit? In the MLN booklet put out by Medicare it says you can check AWV eligibility information through HIPAA Eligibility Transaction System(HETS) or through the provider call center Interactive Voice Responses (IVRs).

Does anyone have experience doing this and do you feel as if it is effective? I’m trying to find a better way to make sure we are capturing the correct level of service when we do our HCCs. Noridian is our carrier.

Thank you.
